Getting Around Moscow

Airport
The largest international airport in Moscow is Sheremetyevo 2. For domestic travel and to countries within the former Soviet
Union there are four smaller airports. Sheremetyevo 2 is located 30 km from the centre and it is easiest to take a taxi. You
can usually book a taxi in advance through the hotel or travel agency. The journey costs approx. $ 50-60. Alternatively, there
are two different bus routes. They will take you halfway to the centre where you must change to the underground railway (you
may have to walk a bit).

Public transport
Moscow has one of the world's most beautiful underground railways. Furthermore, it operates well. The price of one journey is 17 Rbl, a five-day ticket costs 140 Rbl and a card for 60 journeys costs 250 Rbl (valid for 30 days). A monthly card (maximum 540 journeys) costs 160 Rbl. In addition, there are buses, trolley buses and trams. Tickets for these can be bought at kiosks in the street or from the driver and validated once aboard.

Taxi
It is easiest to get a taxi the traditional way: stand in the street and hold out your arm. Civilian cars like to operate as taxis.
The official taxis have a checkered logo on the side and a green lamp on the windscreen. Taxi meters are seldom used,
so agree on a price before travelling.
